The biggest revolution in the history of the Cornish pasty is about to be unleashed – the Cone-ish Pasty.

Yes, an ice cream pasty. Sweet-filled crumbly pastry, which works like an ice cream cone, holds the crowning glory - Kelly’s of Cornwall’s creamy ice cream. Three different Cone-ish pasties have been created to match Kelly’s flavours.

Kelly’s ice cream sommelier and TV chef James Strawbridge will be showcasing the world’s first ‘Kelly’s of Cornwall Ice Cream Pasty’ – or as it’s been coined already, The Cone-ish Pasty – at London’s South Bank on Monday, May 14.

The Cone-ish Pasty has been invented to promote Kelly’s latest national TV advert in Cornish, which will be screened from the same date.

Admit it, you want to try the Cone-ish Pasty

The company hopes there will be such a call for the sweet, summer oggy that they will be available more permanently.

In the meantime, here is how to make one of the flavours at home.

Cream tea Cone-ish Pasty recipe

KELLY’S CREAM TEA PASTY

Serves 12, makes six pasties

Filling

500g diced fresh strawberries

250g strawberry jam

200g crumbled scones

400g Cornish Clotted Cream

50g caster sugar

Splash of Prosecco (optional)

500g shortcrust pastry block

1x tub of Kelly’s of Cornwall Berry Eton Mess ice cream

Method

1. Slice your strawberries into quarters and crumble the scones.

2. Roll out your shortcrust pastry block and using a 10-15cm diameter bowl, make six circular pastry rounds.

3. Mix all the remaining ingredients together in a bowl and deposit approx. 60g of the filling onto each of the small circular pastry rounds.

4. Hand crimp your pastry by rolling the edge of your pastry into a rope shape with your index finger and thumb. Fold over the end of the pastry and press down to seal.

5. Egg wash the pasty and bake in a preheated oven at 180˚C for 25 minutes until golden brown. Dust with a little icing sugar.

This is the third year that Kelly’s of Cornwall ice cream has brought the Cornish language into the nation’s homes with its quirky and unique take on Cornishness.

The 30-second spot filmed in St Ives, features three quirky Cornish characters expressing their love for their favourite Kelly’s flavour in the historical Kernewek language. Even a local cow called Doris from fields nearby got to play a starring role.

This playful advert continues to celebrate over 100 years of Kelly’s Cornish heritage; Kelly’s ice cream is made in Bodmin using Cornish milk and Cornish cream sourced from Trewithen Dairy, and is now the country’s leading Cornish ice cream and the UK’s sixth biggest ice cream brand.

Mark Trevethan, from Cornwall Council’s Cornish Language Office, supported Kelly’s with Cornish translations for the new ad. He said: “Language is an effective way to articulate the culture and heritage of a region. Kelly’s helped spread awareness of the Cornish language with the first ever Cornish TV advert in 2016, and today it continues to raise Cornwall’s profile – advocating our ‘unique Cornishness’ to the rest of the nation.”

We are the most successful regional British ice cream brand and over the past few years, we have invested over £3m in our Bodmin factory to improve quality.
